Hmm...indeed.

Uh, no. BAD idea. What happens when a bullet hits concrete or a rock? Ricochet, that's what. Right in your eye. :shocked:

Wewt!

And shooting them only becomes a problem if the bullets ricochet straight back. ;)

Save them up for a bad batch of concrete:D. That or bring your testing machine around to quiet neighbourhoods at night and start testing. Just did some tests this last year with those, had a heart attack when those things failed. Or were those the steel tensile tests...

I just dont want to pay to ship them, that'd cost an arm and a leg.

My dad's roommate in college was a civil engineer and had a similar situation. They ended up separating the top bunk of their bunk beds and placing them on top of the cylinders. So mattress foundation FTW.

Is that a foot long, 6" diameter concrete cylinder in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
